Murey2 Posted November 20, 2019 Posted November 20, 2019 Hey. I have faced a bug with a lot of friends using Datalink on the ka-50. when I share DL targets with my wingmen the numbering/identification for the shared DL targets are not unique by target! meaning when I share 4 DL targets with my wingmen, DL target #1 for me is not memorized as #1 for my wingmen but memorized as another number/identification (when there is more that one DL target)! That make no sense what so ever! Because me and the wingmen flying together made a plane to attack a group of shared DL target's that I shared with them. I was going to attack the first target and every wingman was going to attack the DL target matching his DL identification, e.g. wingman #2 will attack DL target #2... an so on. So, we will all fire at the same time and all the targets will get destroyed (one shot one kill of so we hoped). We initiated the attack and it was a failure! because when wingman #2 fired at the DL target #2 it wasn't #2! I asked what happened and he said that he attacked DL target #2 as seen on the ABRIS but for me that was not #2! that I sent him. So somehow the DL targets ordering get changed. Please fix that ED. The shared DL targets should be identically ordered for all the squad from commander to all the other wingmen, when the targets are all shared in the correct order the targets should remain in the correct order. Note: I shard the DL targets in the correct order and shared all the DL targets with all wingmen. And it happened every time we do it. And on many different servers and different days...!
Frederf Posted November 22, 2019 Posted November 22, 2019 I don't understand. Whenever I receive a DL message I set type and save to system. When I get another I type it and save it. The numbering increases based on the order I save them. The number in sequence within sender system has no relevance and that's normal. Are you saying that wingmen are receiving-saving them in one order but they are saved in system in a different one? Please be exactly specific about what buttons are pressed when and what is the display at each stage. Also, why give all targets to all members if each is only to attack a specific target? Why not send each only a single target? Then wingmen only attack the single target they are sent.

Murey2 Posted November 29, 2019 Author Posted November 29, 2019 (edited) Hi please attach a track replay showing the issue thank you Hi, Sorry for being late. It took me some time to figure it all out I think. I hope it helps you fix the bugs/issues explained below with download link for tracks. 1- If a group of DLTs (DATALINK Target) was received by a wingman (without wingman memorizing anything to the ABRIS one by one), the last DLT will be flasing with no DLT ID number on the wingman's ABRIS. In more details: I have 4 DLTs that I sent to a wingman beginning from DLT #1 and ending with DLT #4. the last DLT that will be flashing on the wingman's ABRIS is DLT #4 for me. So, when the wingman press "send/mem" button DLT #4 for me will be his DLT #1. That is an issue that shouldn't happen I think. DLTs should be memorized in the order that it was received by, and not starting by last DLT but ending with it! 2- When I have 4 DLTs memorized on the ABRIS. If I delete DLT #1, DLT #2 will become DLT #1!!! Like I'm not sure if this how it is in real life?! 3- With the above (point 2) in mind when I add/memorized another DLT to the 3 DLTs that I had previously the latter will be IDed as #4 (which is fine). So, now with no nothing flashing on the ABRIS (nothing is selected), when I press the button to select a DLT, DLT #4 will be flashing as if it was DLT #1. Now that is weird!! the problem in this when you press on the DLT you would think DLT #1 will be selected but actually the last DLT to be added will be selected first! 4- The DLTs get sent without ID data, so if I sent DLT #4 to a wingman it will not get received as DLT #4 as sent by me but anything else depending on whether the receiver have DLTs memorized before it or not! Is that normal and how it's like IRL?! 5- Previously I remember very well it was possible to memorize more than 4 DLTs of any type. Now its only possible to memorized 4! Why? 4 is very limiting...
